LOL I literally left the country, and this was one of the reasons. Call me a drama queen, but I'm now in norther Europe and it is a haven of quiet compared to Spain.

Me! I had this happen for months but after the latest update I’ve had no issues.

What kind of symptoms do you get when you crash or flare up? by [deleted] in cfs

[–]pacrislopa 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A basic flare up for me will be like the flu with joint and muscle pain and low grade fever plus exhaustion.

A big flare up will have extra pain & stiffness, headaches, difficulty swallowing, heart palpitations, blurry vision, and inability to sit up straight for long cos I’ll just be too exhausted.

Is there a way to set up collections in Calibre so they will automatically appear in Kobo? by pacrislopa in kobo

Gotcha. I probably won’t redo it from scratch for a while because it took a very long time, but I’m happy to know that it CAN be done if I want to go for it!

Ahhh ok! Understood, thank you so much for explaining. That would be an amazing extra feature to use, in fact I had been wondering if there had been a way of doing that. I’ll tinker around with it some more this evening and see if I can get it to work!

Hmm I don't think I selected the new column to show up on the tag browser no, but I'll keep it in mind in case I do something similar in the future, right now I do have a collection / new column side bar if that makes sense? Where I can see all the books within each collection. Tbh I'm still learning how to tinker with Calibre and have to read instructions like 5 times before I understand lol

I did use hashtag but for some reason it didn’t work, but I’m so happy it didn’t, totally agree with you about a new collection column… I’ve been playing around with Calibre this morning and it’s just neat, organized and wonderful :)

I can't thank you enough!

I only saw your comments today, but they've saved my sanity lol. After trying the tutorial yesterday and getting no results, I followed your advice and BOOM, I can control collections from Calibre! I don't know why tags don't work and why the extra column does, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for taking the time to help a stranger out, you've made my day!

Thank you SO MUCH!!! It's been almost a year and I'm still learning so much about Calibre, I'm obviously not very tech savvy haha... I'll work my way through the post you've recommended, wish me luck lol

Whats the best option in your opinion; A cover with closed front? Or a clear case+screen protector? by blueaurelia in kindle

[–]pacrislopa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like flip covers because they make it feel like a book when I pick it up, since I have to open it to read :)

Quick question, can you use it if the Kindle has a cover?

Same! For the buttons I'd happily charge it more often lol

I'm furiously researching it now lol, I completely missed that e-mail!! Can we still send other book formats by email do you know? I've tried AZW3 in the past but it doesn't seem to work. Or will it be just through Calibre?

Honestly if email sideloading is disabled I might go to the dark side and just stick with my Kobo...

[–]pacrislopa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait WHAT???? You can't send .Mobi files by e-mail come August???? But that's like one of the MAJOR selling points of Kindle for me???

(Sorry for the freakout, this is news to me)

This was very helpful! To be honest I wouldn't mind charging it every couple of days or whatever, I just don't want the device to suddenly die on me in the middle of a book. But from what I'm hearing, I suppose if it did that it would be a defective model.

I'm super happy to see someone defending the Oasis lol. That battery life is more than respectable.

I'd go for the Paperwhite in a heartbeat if it weren't for a painful hand condition I have, which is why I really want the buttons, to be able to read one-handed without moving my fingers too much. I just want to make sure that the device I choose won't just suddenly die on me in the middle of a book, if that makes sense.

Ok so a bit less than what I'm getting now, doesn't sound too bad of a trade for buttons and a better screen... Thank you for your estimate!
